Interesting, that works.  I would have thought setting it in
the repo.conf would have worked too, though.

So, can I have one (1) repo.conf and use it for multiple ABIs,
like so?:

   $ cat /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD_10x.conf
   FreeBSD_10x: {
     url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest
     mirror_type: "srv",
     signature_type: "fingerprints",
     fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
     enabled: yes
   }

   $ mkdir /tmp/10x_amd64
   $ mkdir /tmp/10x_x86
   $ pkg fetch -Ud -r FreeBSD_10x -o /tmp/10x_amd64 \
       security/sudo shells/bash
   $ pkg -o ABI=freebsd:10:x86:32 fetch -Ud -r FreeBSD_10x \
       -o /tmp/10x_x86 security/sudo shells/bash

I suppose this assumes that the package dependencies are exactly
the same for all the ABIs that one would need.
